Buffalo Bill’s Grave Lookout Mtn Denver CO -Fun things to do
Jan 31st 10
Buffalo Bill's Headstone
Looking for an afternoon of fun things to do with your kids in the Denver Metro area?
Head up to Buffalo Bill’s grave site. They have a movie, (TAKE CASH) memorabilia, gifts, souvenirs and of course junk but the views and learning experiance will have the kids asking questions all the way home. My 4 year old now wants to be a buffalo hunter, Army man that rides a horse.
The views alone are worth the trip. you can see to Woming on a clear day and Boulder looks so close you feel like you can touch it.
You can easily get there from I-70 or C-470 right in Golden. Just follow the signs up Lookout Mountain to the guest services building. It’s all well marked.

Idyllwilde 2009 Market report
